Django User Agents
A django package that allows easy identification of visitor’s browser, OS and device information, including whether the visitor uses a mobile phone, tablet or a touch capable device. Under the hood, it uses user-agents.
Installation
Install django-user-agents, you’ll have to make sure that user-agents is installed first:
pip install pyyaml ua-parser user-agents pip install django-user-agents
Configure settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( # Other apps... 'django_user_agents', ) # Cache backend is optional, but recommended to speed up user agent parsing CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache', 'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211', } } # Name of cache backend to cache user agents. If it not specified default # cache alias will be used. Set to `None` to disable caching. USER_AGENTS_CACHE = 'default'
Usage
Middleware
Add UserAgentMiddleware in settings.py:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
# other middlewares...
'django_user_agents.middleware.UserAgentMiddleware',
)
A user_agent attribute will now be added to request, which you can use in views.py:
def my_view(request):
# Let's assume that the visitor uses an iPhone...
request.user_agent.is_mobile # returns True
request.user_agent.is_tablet # returns False
request.user_agent.is_touch_capable # returns True
request.user_agent.is_pc # returns False
request.user_agent.is_bot # returns False
# Accessing user agent's browser attributes
request.user_agent.browser # returns Browser(family=u'Mobile Safari', version=(5, 1), version_string='5.1')
request.user_agent.browser.family # returns 'Mobile Safari'
request.user_agent.browser.version # returns (5, 1)
request.user_agent.browser.version_string # returns '5.1'
# Operating System properties
request.user_agent.os # returns OperatingSystem(family=u'iOS', version=(5, 1), version_string='5.1')
request.user_agent.os.family # returns 'iOS'
request.user_agent.os.version # returns (5, 1)
request.user_agent.os.version_string # returns '5.1'
# Device properties
request.user_agent.device # returns Device(family='iPhone')
request.user_agent.device.family # returns 'iPhone'
If you have django.core.context_processors.request enabled, user_agent will also be available in template through request:
{% if request.user_agent.is_mobile %}
Do stuff here...
{% endif %}
View Usage
django-user_agents comes with get_user_agent which takes a single request argument and returns a UserAgent instance. Example usage:
from django_user_agents.utils import get_user_agent
def my_view(request):
user_agent = get_user_agent(request)
if user_agent.is_mobile:
# Do stuff here...
elif user_agent.is_tablet:
# Do other stuff...
Template Usage
django-user_agents comes with a few template filters:
is_mobile
is_tablet
is_touch_capable
is_pc
is_bot
You can use all of these like any other django template filters:
{% load user_agents %}
{% if request|is_mobile %}
Mobile device stuff...
{% endif %}
{% if request|is_tablet %}
Tablet stuff...
{% endif %}
{% if request|is_pc %}
PC stuff...
{% endif %}
{% if request|is_touch_capable %}
Touch capable device stuff...
{% endif %}
{% if request|is_bot %}
Bot stuff...
{% endif %}
